Gear Diary

Julie and I just received our Fujitsu P2000s last night. Both of us stayed up way to late playing with them – and it looks like both of us are going to play “hookie” from work today. More info about these mini laptops later – but so far we are both very impressed with their […]

I received the SCOTTeVEST (Version 2.5) tonight. I admit it, I was all prepared to not like it…I mean, how geeky must you be to carry all your gadgets around on your person? Well, the more I look at this thing, the more I realize that it was created so you could carry all your

Ever wished you could view and manage all of the data on your Palm OS PDA from your desktop? I’ve been playing with FilePoint Pro, a program that allows you to do just that. One word: Convenient!

Ok folks, prepare to drool. Hot off the ‘reliable source’ presses comes some tasty info regarding a yet unreleased Sony device: StrongArm 206Mhz processor Clamshell design – not sure if this it is the same as current NR series Flash player that can run even in full-screen Built-in camera can now do video capture No

I am so completely irratated with Audible! I cancelled my account with them when my year’s contract was up – and they still managed to get a couple extra month’s worth of money from me. In February of this year, I thought I was done with them…and for a while I was. Then in June

A nifty new toy was delivered to me yesterday. Yes, it is the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone. My first impression is that I think it could be my favorite Pocket PC yet. Great screen and small size are big turn ons for me. I’ll be putting it thru its paces for a few days, so

Judie just turned me on to one of the coolest programs I’ve seen in awhile. It’s called WeatherBug. It puts your local temperature in the Win XP taskbar. But, it also gives you all kinds of other weather info including humidity, wind direction, forcasts, radar images, etc. It’s even skinnable. You must check this out!

For all of you Sony CLIÉ NR series people out there, you need to take a look at NR Buttons from Stand Alone Inc. This is a nifty little utility that allows you to add buttons and a simple popup app launcher list to the bottom status bar of your virtual graffiti area. Unlike other

In an ultimate act of geek-ness, Julie and I ordered matching Fujitsu P2000 notebook computers last night. Now we have to wait until August 8 for them to ship… An-ti-ci-pay-yay-tion…

phillip “wide-eyed and flash-enabled” torrone just sent me an interesting tidbit: Seems he has been giving caffeine soap a try! Where does he find things like this? Do you need help staying up? You might want to give this stuff a try…just keep it out of your eyes! ;0)

Need a tool to help you with your work out routine? Check out the new version of BioBody from Biohazard Software. BioBody is a Pocket PC application designed to help you keep track of your strength and aerobic exercise programs, as well as your food intake. To get you in the exercising mood, the fine

CNN.com has posted an interesting article about stylish mobile device accessories. And, what makes this article even more interesting is the fact that they mention The Gadgeteer and Judie’s Daughter Judie Fine PDA Styli Company! Go read it now!

If you ar a fan of some of the more offbeat postings I have made (My McLaren Experience, My Hawaii Vacation, etc.), then you will most likely enjoy this photo-journal of a group of intrepid hikers climbing to an elevation of 11,000 feet. While there, they have a PDA beaming experience between a Palm and

Every so often, I’ll get an email asking for an Avantgo channel or other light version of this site that mobile users can access. I’ve created something for you to try, it’s not super flashy, but it works. Check it out and let me know your comments and suggestions on what would improve it.

I am trying out a handy program called Weather Manager. If you have wireless capability on your Palm, then you can get updates in full color – including extended forecasts. For those of you that don’t have wireless, that’s quite all right. There is a built in desktop conduit, so that every time you hot-sync

This is my last night in MA, and I’m sitting here in my hotel room wondering if I made a mistake buying this Powerbook. Yes, I love the form factor, awesome display and great interface… But having only this computer to use this past week, I keep finding little things are making me crazy. I’ve

This is easily one of the coolest things I have seen in a while: A digital magazine format that keeps the “feel” of a paper journal. I have a hard copy subscription to Pocket PC Magazine, and I save all my issues. As you can imagine, this takes up a lot of room – especially

I received this from Debbie McCormick of www.webmcdeb.com fame: “On July 27th, I will be participating in Blogathon 2002. My chosen charity is the American Cancer Society. I will post a new entry to my site every 30 minutes, for 24 hours straight. The cool part is that I will post a newly designed Pocket

Hey folks! Tomorrow I’m on my way to Westford, MA for a week long training session for my day job. I’m taking plenty of review items with me to keep me busy. Look for reviews soon of the Seidio emergency and travel chargers, Instant Power chargers and the Wireless Keyboard from Pocketop.
